`Funny, sensitive, and insightful - the perfect book to turn to at the end of a long day' Bonnie Garmus The perfect novel for anyone who has ever dreamt of a fresh start. Alex has unexpectedly inherited a crumbling sheep farm in wildest, wettest Wales. This was not her life plan. Not at all. Armed with only An Idiot's Guide to Farming, and watched by a wary Welsh terrier, Alex sets out to uncover the truth behind her mysterious inheritance. But as secrets surface, will she pack her bags - or has she landed exactly where she's meant to be? A joyful celebration of new beginnings, community - and a very stubborn dog.
